LIZZIE POV
Its been 4 days and today Eve will start school. She didn't complained about it that much. Of course she tried to ask me not to go and to come on set with me but obviously I said no. It was 5am and for Eve was early to wake up. It was early even for me but I don't know why but I couldn't sleep. I knew I will not fall asleep again so I decided to start getting ready for the day.

I showered and I get dressed, then I walked downstairs and I prepared Eve's lunch for school. Then I prepared breakfast for me and for my daughter.

When I finished it it was 7am and it was time for Evelyn to wake up. I walked upstairs and I slowly opened the door of her room. She was sleeping peacefully, hugging the pillow and with a leg outside the covers. I laughed silently and I walked towards her bed.

I sit next to her ad I moved her hair form her face. I kissed her cheek and I watched if she was waking up but she wasn't so I continued giving her kisses on her cheek until she woke up.

"Good morning sleepyhead"
"Good morning mom"
"I will never get use to you calling me that" she laughed a little and she slowly get up. We walked together downstairs and we ate our breakfast.

"Are you ready for your first day in a new school?"
"Kinda" I laughed at her and we continued eating.

Then Evelyn went to get dressed while I was cleaning the table.

EVELYN POV
Mom woke me up for school and we ate. Honestly I don't want to go to school. In the one I was before everyone bullied me because of my social anxiety and because I don't have parents. Well now I have one, and she's the best.
I went getting dressed. I choose something basilar, not too much fancy.

Then I walked downstairs.
"Are you ready?"
"Yeah"

We walked towards the car, Lizzie took the morning off to bring me to school and to talk to the principal. She said they had something to discuss.

What if my schoolmates don't like me? It would be like the previous school I was in. Honestly I don't want to go in a school where they treat me like they always did.

What if they treat me worst? I will die immediately. Cool, died the firs day of school.

What if they beat me and then Lizzie ask me how was the day? Should I lie to her? I don't want to but I don't want even her to worry about me. She already is for the story of the hospital last week but I don't want her to worry more.

"Hey, are you ok?" Lizzie asked me taking me out form my thoughts.
"Um, yeah, everything's good"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"I'm sure you'll be fine, the others will love you will have a lot of friends" sh reassured me. Or at least she tried.
"We're here" mom says getting out of the car. I did it too and we walked towards the principal office.

The principal gave me my books and my schedule. Today I should have Science, English, Latin, History and Italian. Lizzie knew that I knew some Italian so we decided me to continue studying it.

When Lizzie ad the principal, Ms. Gray, finished talking, Lizzie went on set and the Ms. Gray took me into my first class.

There were a lot of students and when we entered everyone looked at me. I was already panicking but I managed to stay like a normal teenager. When he finished introducing me, he walked away and I sit behind everyone and the teacher started the lesson.

I wast listening to the lesson cause in my old school we already did this and I have photography memory so when I read something I immediately understand it and I don't forget it. For example I remember all the pages that in the first grade we read at school. I can watch a paper full of numbers for 3 seconds and I can repeat to you every number. It's like a superpower and it's kinda cool.

I was drawing when the teacher asked me a question.
"Ms. Olsen, are you listening to me?" Everyone looked at me.
"Y-yes Miss"
"Answer the question then. What is the evolution?"
"A-a natural or artificial process that results in the survival and propagation of some individuals but not of others"
"T-that is correct, good job miss Olsen" I smiled at her and i continued drawing.

When the bell rang everyone got up and walked away. I did this too but slower.

I walked in the English class and I sit in the same spot where I was before.

This hour passed quickly and now there is a break. I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat but there were too much people in her and I could fell a panic attack coming. I run into the bathroom and I splashed some water in my face.

When I calmed down 2 girls entered in the bathroom and they walked to me.
"How can I help you?"
"You, little brat, you are in a lot of trouble"
"Why? What did I do?"
"You answered the teacher question. Now she is impressed by you"
"And?"
"And before you she was impressed by me cause I was the best in the class. Now you will pay for this" she said and she grabbed my hair. She punched me in my stomach and I fell. While I was on the floor she continued kicking me in my stomach while her friend was kicking me in the back. I didn't scream cause I knew that if I do they will go harder and I don't want this to happen. I just kept my arms in front of my face while I cried.

Suddenly a teacher and the principal walked in and they stopped the 2 girls by kicking me. With them there was another girl.

I sit straight with my legs in my chest and with my arms around them. I was shaking and I was clearly having a bad panic attack.

The teacher took the 2 girls away while the principal approached to me. I started shaking more and I was trying to get away from her but I couldn't that much since I had the wall behind me.

"I won't hurt you, they are gone now. But you have to breathe Evelyn"
"I-I can't"
"Yes you can just in...and out"
"I can't, I-I need L-Lizzie" I managed to say between sobs, tears and breathing.
Ms. Gray quickly took out her phone keeping a hand in my knee and she called someone. After talking at the phone for a while she talked to me again.
"Evelyn breath, you can do it"
"I-I can't, L-Lizzie"
"She's coming honey, she's coming"
